The Colts made their final cuts on Saturday to trim their roster to 53 players for the upcoming season. Among these cuts, no surprise was as big as the release of Nate Irving.Irving was the frontrunner for the second inside linebacker spot, starting opposite of D’Qwell Jackson after the team lost Jerrell Freeman to the Chicago Bears back in March.
The release of Irving comes as a surprise, but there has to be a reason. Irving has had a history of injuries and never seemed to be back to playing full strength during his stint with the Colts.
